Show PAGE 44 WEBER ACADEMY ore deposits in the western states. Several field trips during the autumn months, and the collection and the determination of the more common rocks, minerals and ores are important features of the course. Blackwelder and Barrow's Elements of Geology with collateral reading. Five periods per week, first semester. One-half unit credit. Physics.A study of elementary mechanics and the phenomena of sound, light, heat, magnetism and electricity. Lecture table experiments are performed to illustrate the principles studied. Special attention is given to laboratory work. Each student is required to keep a laboratory note book, in which his observations and results are recorded. Visits will be made to power houses. Millikan and Gale First course in Physics and Millikan's Laboratory Manual. Three recitations and two double laboratory periods per week throughout the year. One unit credit. Chemistry.The fundamental theories of chemistry and the non-metallic and the more common metallic elements are studied. The balancing of equations, the solving of problems and the practical applications of chemistry receive considerable attention. During the spring term the more common organic compounds are studied. Visits are made to the sugar factory, cement and gas plants. For the benefit of Domestic Science students, who pursue the study of chemistry, a laboratory course in household chemistry will be given the second semester, provided a sufficient number apply for the same. First Principles of Chemistry by Brownlee and others is the text used. Brownlee's Laboratory Exercises and Blanchard's Laboratory Guide will be used in the laboratory. Three recitations and two double laboratory periods per week throughout the year. One unit credit. WEBER ACADEMY PAGE 45 College. Prof. J. G. Lind. Chemistry I. (General Chemistry).The non-metals will be studied in detail. The fundamental principle and theories of chemistry will receive special consideration. Text: "General Chemistry for College," by Alexander Smith. First semester, three recitations and two double laboratory periods per week. Four hours credit. Chemistry II. (General Chemistry).Continuation of I. The metals and elementary qualitative analysis. Some standard work on qualitative analysis will be used. Second semester, three recitations and two double laboratory periods per week. Four hours credit. Geology I. (General Geology).Dynamical, structural and physiographical geology, with practical laboratory work on maps and specimens and field excursions. Text: "Chamberlain and Salisbury's College Geology," or "Pirrson's and Schuchert's Text Book of Geology." A course in Chemistry should precede or accompany this course. First semester, three recitations and two double laboratory or field periods per week. Four hours credit. Geology II. (Mineralogy).This course includes a study of the more common minerals and ores. Considerable individual laboratory work in blowpipe analysis and determinative mineralogy. Text: "Dana's Revised Manual of Mineralogy." Prequisite, a course in Chemistry. Second semester. Three recitations and two double laboratory periods per week. Four hours credit. |
